Textile coating

Textile coating is a process in which textiles are treated with various coating materials to improve their properties or add certain functions. These coatings can be applied in different ways and are used to make the textiles water-repellent, flame-retardant, non-slip, breathable or hard-wearing.

A common method of textile coating is coating with polymers or plastics. The textiles are coated with a thin layer of a polymer material that gives them additional strength, waterproofness or flexibility. This coating can be applied to the textiles by application, dipping or spraying. Another method of textile coating is impregnation with chemical compounds that seal the surface of the textiles and protect them from moisture, dirt and other external influences. These impregnating agents can be water-based or solvent-based and are often used in outdoor clothing, tents and sports equipment.

In addition, textiles can also be treated with special coatings that make them flame-retardant, antibacterial or antistatic. These coatings are often used in workwear, medical textiles or technical textiles to provide additional safety and functionality. The selection of the appropriate coating material depends on the specific requirements of the application as well as the desired properties of the treated textiles. Textile coating enables manufacturers to produce high-quality products that meet their customers' requirements and offer a wide range of applications.
